Hi,
I have stage 1 lung cancer, lobectomy of lower left lobe in March. Had pluerul effusion and pneumonia following surgery and a chest tube for two weeks. Other than that have recovered well but can't help thinking about the possibility of recurrence. The thought of recurrence to liver, brain or bones is frightening. I am 62 years old and feel fortunate that it was caught early however everything I read points to 30% recurrence rate. Any of you 5 year survivors without recurrence. I wish everyone the very best with their own situations.
